Code Wines Estate Blend Pinot Noir 2020
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLook for bright cherry and preserved plums shaded with mulberry and baking spice/barrel notes. In the glass, transparent, layered flavours of cherry, mulberry and pomegranate throughout, leading to an extended, graceful ending. The modest alcohol and harmonic acidity lets the fruit subtleties shine through. An impressive wine coming from young vines, this winery is one to follow. It mixes three clones: Dijon 115; Ancestor 01 (unknown clone); and Pommard 91; each individually picked for ripeness, processed separately, fermented and aged in 2nd fill and neutral French oak for one year and bottled unfined and unfiltered.Tasted: 24 April 2024Tasted by: Brent GushowatyPrices:BC | $34.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
